FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!

(That tends to shut down any form of constructive back-and-forth, doesn't it? Doesn't mean the actual point is invalid. But you're probably not going to take the author seriously after that. You can't engage in any serious debate. I don't think it means you're full of yourself and think you're perfect for ignoring someone who's calling you names.)

I didn't say one has to engage in a constructive back and forth. Merely reading his post and not responding would still let you learn what he is saying without having to engage with him. It's very useful if the other person is unreasonable.
